Using Festinger's cognitive dissonance theory as a model, the extension to Barker's ecological theory, referred to as ecological dissonance theory, was developed. Designed to examine the motivational dynamics involved when environmental systems are in conflict with each other or with cognitive systems, ecological dissonance theory yielded five propositions which were tested in 10 studies. This summary of the studies suggests operationally defined measures of ecological dissonance may correlate with workers' satisfaction with their jobs, involvement with their jobs, alienation from their work, and to a lesser extent, workers' conflict resolution behavior and communication style.
以费斯汀格的认知失调理论为模型，发展出了对巴克生态理论的扩展，即生态失调理论。生态失调理论旨在研究当环境系统相互冲突或与认知系统冲突时所涉及的动机动态，该理论产生了五个命题，并在10项研究中进行了检验。这些研究的总结表明，生态失调的操作性定义指标可能与员工对工作的满意度、工作投入度、工作疏离感相关，在较小程度上还与员工的冲突解决行为和沟通方式相关。
